The Bluetooth Is No Fairy Tale, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

You don’t put this tooth under pillow
And why you use it isn’t because of a fellow
You can listen to jazz with earbuds be mellow

Here’s some history
And I will try
To explain why there’s wi/fi

There was an actress in Hollywood
Beyond her acting she was amazingly good
At inventing things new, now understood

Here husband designed weapons of war
Radio controlled torpedoes she pondered for
Frequency hopping signals to avoid being jammed

That is why today you have earbuds in hand
That is why you can surf while in bed
No ethernet cables you have wi fi instead

The Female Animal
My Favorite Spy
Bob Hope’s to try
She is an honored lady

The Story Of Mankind.
(end)

Hedy Lamarr was born  Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler; Born November 9, 1914^[a] – died January 19, 2000.

She invented radio hopping frequencies that while not used in WW2 weaponry did go on to be used in communication technology and is why you now can use wireless headphones and earbuds and don’t have to sit at a desk to be on the internet.

Notes on the last last stanza: Titles or odes to her movies.

The Female Animal 1958
My Favorite Spy, also stared Bob Hope 1951
Dishonored Lady, 1947, I put my twist on it to say she should be honored, not dishonored.
The Story Of Mankind, 1957.

She did many more movies and had many inventions. A real genius and dynamo.

I wrote this poem today, and decided to read up on her, never have heard of her until today when someone mentioned her in a FB short. I intend to watch at least one of the movies to actually hear the voice and see the face that influences billions of people still today. And to know I was alive at the same time as her, makes me wish I could have met her.
